Gotta Love Pop Culture Happy Hour!  They are so thoughtful about everything, while having a good time thinking.  I really appreciated them and their account of Top Chef.

Indeed! (And, for those old enough to remember, lol -- Linda adds the old school TWoP connection that so many of us miss around these parts.)

I'm  a former TWoPer. Forgot my name but I still have some awesome friendships from TWoP.

I was quiet back then--still pretty quiet online, in fact--but I was a TWoPer, too, when Linda was Miss Alli, writing Amazing Race recaps.  TWoP was great. 

And...something about Top Chef.  Maybe that I miss recaps as a thing and sort of wish we had them for Top Chef.  They were a way of seeing if somebody else interpreted an episode (or a raised eyebrow or a snicker) the way you did.

It was her work on TWoP that got her the job on NPR.

Buddha posted his recipe for the pasta amatriciana, aka marry-me-pasta.

^wow! I mean, it's pretty darn standard, and what the heck was he doing with all his time when it was hanging out in the oven for 45 minutes? Honestly, I believe it's absolutely delicious, and I plan to try it, but ....

Linda Holmes and Miss Alli are the same person.  This is the first time I'm using the mind-blown emoji!
